Other Thoughts:
Warren Township is a very well maintained course in a multi-use park. Aside from walking paths, the area for disc golf is mostly isolated from other park activities. Despite multiple signs announcing drug dogs patrolled the area, it seemed like a decent enough place. Most of the equipment in this park is pristine, with very nice baskets and tees. It is confusing, then, that the tee signs are so abysmal. Some more permanent tee signs mounted up where you could see them would be a huge improvement.
I generally enjoyed the course and it has a respectable level of challenge, with a fair bit more distance than some niners. The main frustrations here are navigation and safety. I feel like a broken record, but disc golf and walking paths just do not mix well. This course didn't necessarily throw directly over most of the paths, but there is definite injury potential if one gets away from you. Navigation is also very confusing. Hole 1 and 2 play clearly enough, but then you cross the walking path to your left to get to the tee for hole 3. After 3, you have to cross the walking path going back to your right, past the parking lot, and back into the woods to work back towards the parking lot. Again, after hole 5, you cross the walking path back to the left. On hole 6, watch out for private residences to the left which are OB. I didn't find the blue (long) tee for 8, but I believe it is across the pond from the basket to force a water carry. The blue tee for 9 is at the top of the ski hill, with the white tee on level ground past the ski hill as you are approaching it. I rarely feel the need to give this many navigation tips, so this was the biggest con for me.
Issues with mud were mentioned in a previous review; during my round everything was totally dry and there were no signs of persistent muddy areas. It's also possible more wood chips have been added since the prior review.
It's cool to have the "top of the world" shot at the end of the course, and there is one water carry incorporated. This course isn't anything to write home about, but it's a little bit better suited for the intermediate player than many niners with the added distance and plenty of mature tree hazards. I almost missed the practice basket off to the right as you approach the first tee. If you're in the area playing the numerous other niners around, there's no reason not to stop by and visit this one.
